I don’t know you have kids, but my little girl hates being changed. cries every time.

Are you looking at games he missed while in the NFL and assuming he was injured? i think the only significant injury he’s had was last year.

I would like Ellingson and to not re-sign Dressler.

Still had a great season. Probably a good fit for Nichols too. Fill the role that Dressler is leaving.

I imagine Walters has a number in mind for his LB crew and having Bighill took too much to triple JSK salary. Ill say this though, when you’re a successful team you have pay your players - in order to that you need to find great players on entry level deals. JSK was a prime example of that. We got a couple great years for cheap. Now we gotta go find another.

I actually really like Roh. Am I giving him too much credit?

Based on touches, Lapo doesn't agree at all. Or didn't last season.

Bet he waits to see if Harris re-signs.

Hopefully, he just doesn't let them get away with the contract that he's been getting paid so far. Light 'em up for 700k.

Great line.

No mention of him at all, eh? It would be a huge hit to our secondary if we didn't retain him.

And this is exactly what the AAF wants, this type of message being sent around, However, I hope agents are asking where is the money for all this coming from and how sustainable is it?

Well, obviously they weren't going to sell out in their first game. You have to build your brand.

If Chungh leaves, that might be our best bandaid solution for this year. At least to start as we begin to work Gray into the fold. I very much get the impression that we are going to pick up a DL with our top pick. And we'll keep a DL spot Canadian. Walters mentioned this was a strong DL and Reveiver draft.

People keep referencing BC like that's the only spot for our FA's to go. Chungh is looking for the best deal possible and I don't think he cares which team offers him 250+.

I don't agree with this. Walters has said guys like Loffler are testing FA, while negotiations with Chungh's camp continued. We want him, he's willing to be here, but we haven't met the number he thinks he can get in the open market.

No doubt it’ll be a downgrade. But you got to have a limit on what you’re willing to pay guys. Especially when we’ve invested so much draft capital in the OL. We have to be able to replace guys when other teams sign them away in FA. I tell you though, between Goosen, Corney, and potentially Chungh, this is a lot of high draft picks (who should be hitting their prime years) that are no longer helping our team.

These are all issues. That they want to be discussed in the new CBA. They need to be started first.

What?

I know I’d rather him part ways amicably (he handled this professionally), and that this is a better move for him in the long term (especially if he’s fallen out of love with the game), but darn, this was a second overall pick who just hit his prime. this is pretty awful news from a team perspective.

Nailed it.

Coaching limitations - Esks might not have a spot?

I agree with this take.

That would suck. He’s a guy we really had to devote time to and has finally come into his own.

Hardrick is also the best RT in the league.
